| In The Post-American World, Fareed Zakaria (editor of Newsweek Int'l) sees the "rise of the rest" -- the growth of countries like China, India, Brazil, Russia, and many others -- as the great story of our time, and one that will reshape the world. The tallest buildings, biggest dams, largest-selling movies, and most advanced cell phones are all being built outside the United States. If America is losing the ability to dictate to this new world, it has not lost the ability to lead. This book is not about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else. An excerpt from this book was published as the cover story of May 12th edition of the Newsweek. You can read it here. Fareed received a B.A. from Yale and a Ph.D. in political science from Harvard. He lives in New York City with his wife, son and two daughters. |
